 yesterday I had fundamental realization regarding health:

nothing contributes positively more to health than 

eating UNPROCESSED food

not strength training, not cardio, not low-carb diet, not intermittent fasting, not meat/keto diet, absolutely nothing else

if you eat PROCESSED food then your health is fucked no matter else you do 

we are apes 🦍 and that’s fundamental truth, our DNA/genetics is just not made for processed food 
 @efa2e20e 

Looks like you need to start eating your lawn. 
 I generally agree... @efa2e20e 

... but we need to define PROCESSED.

For example, grinding down wheat or corn into a form for cooking is one thing.

FURTHER adding preservatives, flavor enhancers, fillers, stretchers, colors, stabilizers, sugars, salts, oils, etc is "problematic". 
 Your body is a temple. You are what you eat. Both true. Diet is the 1 thing we have full control over.  
 You reminded me of this 😂 I don’t have any actual input though https://image.nostr.build/a98ee833c61054194bf91e21079cb0c162eeebdbce276f46175f8e26adb06b94.jpg  
 @efa2e20e carnivore does has done more to make me truly healthy than anything. The best part is I can eat until I am full, gaining muscle mass, and have more mental clarity. 
 @efa2e20e.  Obviously this is true.   But it’s half correct friend.    Getting your ass out in nature and offline is the other half.   

This is progress CSB.   Well done.   Also try meditating.    

Come to the farm and I’ll get you squared  away and put some muscle on you at the same time working on the land.

Processed food is engineered for human consumption though. Natural foods are just things that someone found on the ground somewhere.
